Well, You can either buy trese hearts or make them. If You decide to make them, here is tutorial of very simple heart applique - simple, but still great looking.

By the way - if You want buy them - I have some in my shop! Take a look!

Here are few samples of different size hearts:

As you can see, You can use different yarns, crochet threads and even use 2 different colors in one heart.

Notes about this tutorial You will need a little bit of yarn or crochet thread and crochet hook. For this tutorial I used 2,5 mm crochet hook and 4-ply mercerized cotton yarn. Heart applique made of this yarn measures ~ 4 cm (1,6") in width and ~ 3,5 cm (1,4") in height. But You can also use other yarns and threads.

Chain 5 (or even better - use "magic loop" - if You are crocheter, You know, what is it. If not - here is great video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfKKoU4HpCs . If You use magic loop, skip step 2 of this tutorial)

Well, if You have good imagination this already starts to look like heart. Now we will give this applique shape of heart.
